You can use "Emulate3Buttons" to paste using _both_ buttons
together by putting something like this in the Pointer
section of /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "PS/2"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"
    Emulate3Buttons
    Emulate3Timeout    50
EndSection

Of course, use your own Protocol and Device lines, I happen
to have a PS/2 mouse.
